Before playing the video of Bundy’s remarks, Stewart explained to the audience that he “had become a bit of a hero to many on the right, but in all the many interviews Mr. Bundy has done with these conservative media outlets, there was one thing he forgot to mention.”

Later, Stewart said that Bundy is a professor at “Duke University — David Duke University,” a reference to the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Stewart has criticized Fox News and specifically host Sean Hannity for its lionization of Bundy, whom the comedian has often noted does not recognize the existence of the federal government and who is illegally grazing his cattle on federal land.
